“On September 7, 2018, the government suspended private mechanical boats (Bhutbhuties) in all ferry systems.

IWT officials also said the department did not have an enforcement wing to check and monitor a single engine plying.
“There should be a dedicated team for such law enforcement.

All 10 POS assistant executive engineers lie empty.
Barua panels mention that all ferries and vessels must have a jacket / raft of life, but this security measure has not been followed today.
“The number of jackets of life in the ferry or ship must be in accordance with the number of passengers.
There are no exceptions that must be permitted at the front,” the report said.
